Bouldergeist is a boss in Super Mario Galaxy that resembles a rock monster. This article will tell you how to beat him.

Steps

1

Go to one of the levels where you fight Bouldergeist. Ghosty Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy) OR Boss Blitz Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

2

Avoid the rocks. Bouldergeist will summon several rocks toward you. Avoid them. Don't stand still or else his rocks will destroy you.

3

Shake the remote. The black rocks he summoned will turned into black ghosts. Shake the Wii remote when near one to grab hold of its tongue. Swing the ghost towards Bouldergeist.

4

A part of Bouldergeist should break off. Continue to repeat step 3.

5

After you defeat him the first time, he will form again and grow hands. These hands will be used to try to crush you. Avoid them the best you can.

When he summons hands, there are two methods. One is destroy both hands before attacking as to ensure safety. Two is try to attack when the hands are in a helpful position, which is faster but riskier.

6

Try to collect two Black Boos at a time so as to do extra damage. Watch for the spiked rocks that he summons out of the ground. Hit a spiky part, and start over.

7

Be careful. This is not a race, and if you ever question whether you can survive a certain move, don't do it.

8

Try not to get creamed in any way, as if you mess up even once, you WILL have to start over.

9

After defeating him a second time, you have finally beaten Bouldergeist!
